(...) I just called and they could not confirm yet if track is going to be affected (I doubt it will remain unaffected) and they will contact me later about it as soon as they get information.

Well I just got off the phone with Consumer Affairs. I approached them not as an AFOL, but as a father of a 7yr old. I explained that I purchased a metroliner for my son previously and now see news on-line from Lego that the brick colors won't be (...) (22 years ago, 21-Nov-03, to lugnet.general) !
